WileyPLUS Online Homework System: We will be using WileyPLUS online homework system in this course. To sign up for the WileyPlus system, you will need a WileyPLUS registration code. If you took MTH 131, you should be able to use your old code to register for this course as well. If you took MTH 131 before we began using WileyPLUS, you may need to purchase a code, but DO NOT DO THIS until you have tried unsuccessfully tried to register for the section. If you are having trouble registering, make sure to see me as soon as possible so that you do not fall behind.

Quizzes: you will be given about 15 quizzes (almost every class). Quiz problems will be from homework problems and examples given in class
with number changes. There will be NO makeup quizzes , and I'll drop the lowest 2 for you at the end of this semester.

Homework: Homework problems are listed below. You should do ALL of them if you want to do better in exams and quizzes. Although you are not required to hand in homework, you are welcome to bring questions to class, and if you want me to grade some of your homework problems, please hand them in. Even though there will be no credit for homework, I do encourage you to try those problems because doing homework is the the best way to digest what you learned in class!
